I have never built a lock from a casting before. I have a lock casting from Jack Brooks of a small Germanic lock that I would like to build. Before I wade into this like a blind hog, can someone tell me if they know of a reference source on building locks from castings? Pictures would be very nice. A book, CD or videotape? I realize this will not be easy, but I do want to try. Having said that, I know zero about lock design, geometry etc...
So, I am ready to spectacularly crash and burn, but at least I can say I tried...
BTW, I realize building one of Chambers fine locks from a kit might be easier, but I impose these steep learning curves upon myself for a reason.
Thanks guys.
